Morning Mail! Jennifer Lopez Leaving American Idol?! Who Should Fill Her Judge's Seat?
Michael Becker / FOX
Dear Ted:
Can I put my request in now for Stevie Nicks to replace Jennifer Lopez on American Idol? After seeing her as a mentor, I think she is more than capable! She is a legend! The new little nest of squirrels that just learned to run around and eat corn in my yard agree!
—Z
Dear Nixing Nicks:
Although I am a huge fan of Stevie's soulful songs, I highly doubt gal would ever make it to the judge's seat. Not that she doesn't have the talent, but she simply doesn't have the same star power as Ms. Lopez. American Idol's got some stiff competition now that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have officially signed on for X Factor, not to mention A.I. alum Kelly Clarkson is now a mentor on Duets. The reality show needs a stellar female judge if they're going to win the ratings war—dare we suggest Carrie Underwood to fill the empty judge's seat? Send us your ideas!
Dear Ted:
OMG, Charlize Theron for best dressed by far! Kristen Stewart looks like an ancient witch in that dress! Why would they do that to her?

Afternoon Mail! Is Strawberry Snort 'Em Still Sniffing Around?!
Dear Ted:
Any further news on Strawberry Snort 'Em? Is she still off the rails or has she calmed down? I haven't seen her mentioned on Awful Truth in a while, so I was interested in any developments. Addicted to your page—thank you for it and long may it continue!
—TallChick
Dear Sniff or Quit:
I'm glad that you asked, T. And I'm happy to report Strawberry's doing much better as of late—her personal drama's hardly a thing of the past, but she's focused her attention on her career instead. A far better distraction than Strawberry's standard, um, habits, but that doesn't mean the gal's entirely sworn off her Vicey behavior. Get it?
Dear Ted:
So, I have a question that has nothing to do with Fifty Shades of Grey, Hunger Games or Twilight. I've been catching up on Mad Men and was wondering how much Betty Draper and January Jones have in common...it seems like January gets a bad rap, but I think it's pretty cool she decided to be a single mom (not easy) and keep her baby out of the spotlight. Does she get a bad rap because of Betty projection or is she actually a diva? Is she a Vicer?
—Allison
EXCLUSIVE!
What Does Duets' John Legend Have to Say About Other Singing Competitions?!
John Legend is officially throwing down the gauntlet.
The singer is set to star in ABC's new reality singing competition Duets, which pairs superstar judges with contestants on stage for, you guessed it, duets, and he's not shy about expressing his opinion about the merits of Duets. To be specific, he says his show's judges can actually sing.
We caught up with the Grammy winner and his fellow Duets judges Kelly Clarkson and Robin Thicke at the EW-ABC Upfront party, where they all sounded off on Britney and Demi's new X Factor gig. Plus, what does The X Factor's season-one winner think of the new judges?

If you think that Britney Spears has lost her "it" factor think again!
The 30-year-old pop veteran still has the same very special X Factor that first made her a tabloid darling more than a decade ago: Taking any garment and bringing out its inner hoe bag in a matter of seconds.
Check out the Alexander Wang dress Brit-Brit wore to the Fox 2012 Upfronts presentation this week in New York. It's a sleek, simple, even understated number...

When you hire a pop icon for your singing competition show, everybody has something to say about it.
Finally, after what seems like years of speculation, Britney Spears, along with Disney starlet Demi Lovato, have officially joined the new season of The X Factor to sit beside Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid at the judges table. So when talent walked the red carpet at the upfront presentations in New York City, we just had to get their opinion on the judging choices.
Some were excited, while others, like American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance boss Nigel Lythoge, were less than confident about the two...
The X Factor First Look: Britney Spears and Demi Lovato Make Their Debut!
Twitter
The worst kept secret in Hollywood has finally been confirmed: Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are joining The X Factor!
Fox officially announced at the network's upfront presentation in New York City today that the two former Disney pop princesses will be joining Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid at the judges' table. Spears was so excited to be a part of the show, she tweeted the very first picture of all four judges together!
So what went down at the presentation? And what did Spears and Lovato have to say about joining the show?
Howard Stern Lets Loose, Slams Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Talent Haters!
Those of you expecting Fart Man to show up on America's Got Talent are out of luck.
At a press conference today touting his debut on NBC's hit talent competition, Howard Stern promised to bring an honest—and family friendly—point of view to the judge's table when he takes his place alongside copanelists Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne starting with Monday night's premiere.
The shock jock also talked about what to expect this season, ragged on rival TV judges Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears and addressed whether he and former cohort Artie Lange might ever reunite. Here's what he had to say.

Afternoon Mail! How Wet and Wild Is Hunky Jared Padalecki?
AKM-GSI
Dear Ted:
As I gazed upon the recent amazing photo of Jared Padalecki in the surf in Rio (who I think would make the perfect Finnick in The Hunger Games), it got me wondering about his and Jensen Ackles' Blind Vice. Since they were both notted as Judas Jack-Off and Dashed Dingle-Dream, could you give us another clue or two as to their true Vices?
—Inquiring Minds
Dear SuperFreak:
Gotta admit, loyal tribute, when I saw those pictures of JarPad frolicking in the surf I immediately thought of how Finnick-y he looked (and kinda Taylor Kitsch-y too, don't you think?). Heck, those paparazzi were practically auditioning Jared for the role—just slap on some fishing nets and we've got our man! As for Vices, Jared and Jensen don't exclusively Vice together, but it's not a secret they keep from each other. At all.
Dear Ted:
I know you outed Britney Spears for a B.V. a few years ago. Has she earned herself another moniker? Or has she truly moved on from her past?
—CinemaKatie
Afternoon Mail! Will Demi Lovato's Vice Damage Her Impending X Factor Gig?!
Vivien Killilea/WireImage
Dear Ted:
I've always been a huge Demi Lovato fan from the very beginning of her career to her rehab. She seems to have turned everything around, but I'm hearing otherwise. So, Ted, tell me, does she have a Blind Vice?
—Brandi
Dear Loose Lovatic:
Of course Demi has a B.V., B! Gal's not shy to admit she once engaged in a rather Vicey past. But that hardly means Demi's dabbling in bad behavior as of late. In fact, I'm impressed with the gal's comeback and actually excited to see the teen queen coach new talent on The X Factor. Can you just imagine Demi and Britney Spears on the boob tube together?! We're getting pumped just thinking about the prospect.
Dear Ted:
Does Jennifer Lawrence have any secret Vices we don't know about? She seems to tell the truth about herself. She doesn't really hide much, but I don't know! I do know that she and Nicholas Hoult may be the cutest couple ever though. My rescue dog says hi!
